Honestly, I really wish we would see more fan mounts on the sides of cases. Case companies, let me pump that sweet, fresh, cool(er) air directly onto my GPU! Oh, and designing it for a filter (or at least using a magnetic metal so I could use an aftermarket magnetic filter) would be fantastic.Reply

I'm the complete opposite. I can't stand cases with side fan mounts. They are retarded. Dusty, noisy especially when vibrating the whole door, and unnecessary when the front intake fan can blow on the GPU if not obstructed.Reply

Love that price! I'm tired of seeing nice-looking designs for a mini-ITX and then get hit with sticker shock (Lian-Li, I'm looking at you!).

I have a novel idea for any case maker - create heat pipes on a side w/radiator fins that can be connected to a GPU. Sure, you'll need to make a proof-of-concept, but if it worked, it would be so nice not to have the noise of GPU fan(s) in a gaming system. The side of a case could give a lot more surface area to passively radiate the heat away. A large front case fan can used as the system's cooling input.

I suppose a closed-loop liquid cooler would also work, but those are hard to find and seem to cost quite a bit when available, if you can even find one that can be attached to a GPU. Reply

Same time frame for me, though between the Node and BitFenix's offerings. A decent $30 AUD price difference...but am still caught up on whether to get a case that allows an optical drive. Decisions.Reply

Noise? It all depends what the noise levels are like for me. I bought a couple of cases recently for some itx machines and I wish I had known before hand they were going to sound like airplanes taking off.

If this is a relatively quiet case then I would buy half a dozen of them tbh.Reply
